Today's top 5 stories are:

1. Our Mini Popek Popek Parliament, looking at the Parliamentary Services Act, Kampung Baru's development plan, and protecting our children on social media.

2. Concerns surrounding vegetable price hikes due to a production decline in the agriculture sector. This is brought on by the lack of foreign labour, after the government announced that the unused foreign labour quota will be cancelled

3. Vendors at the bazaars being forced to hike up their prices due to the increase cost of raw goods.

4. Mavcom's announcement of a revised passenger service charge, for both domestic and international flights.

5. And our top story: PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's trip to Germany. What does this spell for the future of Malaysia in terms of investment?
